Vintage Newfoundland by the case
by Rondi Adamson. National Post. Wednesday, October 13, 1999.
“. . . While berry wines in general have been considered the drink
of college students, hillbillies and the generally unsophisticated,
“they have gained a good deal of respect in the last 15 years,” says
Irvin Wolkoff, international wine judge and wine columnist for The
Medical Post. “Wine is simply a beverage that is made by fermenting
fruit that contains sugar. There’s no reason that fruit has to be a
grape.”
Wolkoff, who is also a doctor, is quick to point out the particular
health benefits of partridgeberry wine. “Red-skinned berries are
very high in anti-oxidants and vitamin C.” But how does said wine go
with dinner? “As a partridgeberry wine would tend to be dry, fresh
and acidic, says Wolkoff, it would make a beautiful accompaniment to
fish or lighter meats.”
